[0025] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] This utility model provides an anode carbon block stacking device, including a stacking frame 1, a translation mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a clamping mechanism 4. The stacking frame 1 has movable slide rails 101 at both ends of its top. The translation mechanism 2 slides parallel to the top of the stacking frame 1 along the movable slide rails 101. A rack 102 is provided on the movable slide rails 101. The translation mechanism 2 includes a translation frame 201, on which a gear 202 meshes with the rack 102 and a reduction motor 203 drives the gear to rotate. Lifting columns 204 are provided on the inner sides of both ends of the translation frame 201, and sliding grooves 205 are formed on the inner sides of the lifting columns 204.
[0027] In this embodiment, the bottom of the stacking frame 1 is also provided with a carbon block placement rack 103, and a clearance space is reserved for the forklift forks to enter and exit, so that the forklift can pick up the anode carbon block from the side and thus complete the transfer of the carbon block.
[0028] The lifting mechanism 3 slides vertically along the slide groove 205 within the parallel frame 201. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting frame 301, and roller bearings 302 are provided on both sides of the lifting frame 301. The roller bearings 302 slide within the slide groove 205.
[0029] A fixed frame 206 is also provided at the middle position of the translation frame 201. A second hydraulic cylinder 303 is installed on the fixed frame 206. A second hydraulic rod 304 is provided at the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 303. The second hydraulic rod 304 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 301.
[0030] The clamping mechanism 4 is provided in two sets, both of which are set inside the lifting frame 301. It includes a clamping frame 401. A first hydraulic cylinder 402 is set in the middle of the clamping frame 401. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 402 is connected to a first hydraulic rod 403. The first hydraulic rod 403 is connected to a connecting block 404. The two sides of the connecting block 404 are hinged to connecting rods 405 through connecting shafts. One end of the connecting rod 405 is hinged to a clamping arm 406. Both ends of the clamping arm 406 are inclined towards the inside of the clamping frame 401. The upper part of the clamping arm 406 is hinged to the clamping frame 401 through a pin 407. The lower part of the clamping arm 406 is equipped with a clamping plate 408.
[0031] A limiting frame 410 is provided below the connecting rod 405, and the limiting frame 410 is fixedly installed below the clamping block frame 401. The limiting frame 410 is U-shaped, and the connecting rod 405 passes through the limiting frame 410 to restrict the rotation direction of the connecting rod. When the first hydraulic cylinder 402 moves the first hydraulic rod 403 upward, it drives the connecting block to move upward, causing one end of the connecting rod 405 to move the clamping arm 406 towards the center with the limiting frame 410 as the base point, thereby clamping the carbon block.
[0032] A waist-shaped hole is provided in the middle of the clamping block frame 401, and the connecting shaft is intermittently disposed inside the slide groove. In this embodiment, the waist-shaped hole in the middle position serves to center the movement of the hydraulic cylinder during the lifting and lowering process. It is also worth noting that, to avoid damage to the hydraulic cylinder seals, the hydraulic cylinder lifting space is composed of wear-resistant plates.
[0033] The surface of the clamping plate is provided with tapered nails 409 to increase the friction between the clamping plate 408 and the carbon block, prevent the carbon block from slipping and falling during movement, and ensure safety and stability during the stacking process.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0035] The anode carbon blocks move from the conveyor belt to below the stacking frame 1. The translation frame 201 is moved above the anode carbon blocks by the reduction motor 203. The second hydraulic cylinder 303 drives the second hydraulic rod 304 to descend, causing the lifting frame 301 to descend to the position of the anode carbon blocks via the roller bearing 302 along the slide groove 205. The first hydraulic cylinder 402 lifts the first hydraulic rod 403 upward, causing one end of the connecting rod 405 to follow suit, so that the clamping arm 406 connected to the other end of the connecting rod 405 tightens inward, thereby clamping the anode carbon blocks by the clamping plate 408. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 303 drives the lifting frame 301 to rise, and the translation frame 201 is moved above the carbon block placement rack 103 by the reduction motor 203 to stack the anode carbon blocks. Because the clamping and releasing of the two side plates 408 are synchronized, the carbon blocks can always remain centered, and the carbon blocks in the two-layer stack are neatly arranged. Finally, the forklift can load and unload four carbon blocks at a time, which greatly improves the efficiency of carbon block transfer.
[0036] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
